CC Regular Session 4. 5. <br />Meeting Date: 02/24/2015 <br />Submitted For: Dean Kapler, Fire Department By: Dean Kapler, Fire Department <br />Information <br />Title <br />Authorize Donation of Hurst Extrication Tools to the Anoka County Fire Training Academy <br />Purpose/Background: <br />In the early 1990's the Ramsey Lions donated monies to the city of Ramsey for the purpose of purchasing a set of <br />Hurst Extrication Tools. Until this point Ramsey Fire Department did not provide extrication services. With this <br />equipment, the Ramsey Fire Department began responding to and providing vehicle extrication for victims in auto <br />accidents. In 2007 this equipment was replaced by a new set of tools, but the department kept the original tools for <br />the purposes of training firefighters. Since then, all three stations have had extrication tools provided by funding <br />from the local Lions group. It is the department's decision to train on the equipment used in the field, rather than <br />older tools. <br />The department would like to donate the original tools to the Anoka County Fire Training Academy for new <br />Firefighter recruits to utilize in their first year of training (including Ramsey Firefighters). <br />Observations/Alternatives: <br />This equipment could be sold for some small revenue, but the Fire Chief is recommending donating the equipment <br />so that both future Ramsey Firefighters and other Firefighters in the county will benefit by their use in the Anoka <br />County Fire Training Academy. <br />Funding Source: <br />There is no funding for this case. These original extrication tools have been taken off the Capital Equipment listing <br />some time ago as they were completely depreciated. <br />Recommendation: <br />Authorize staff by resolution to donate the original Hurst Extrication Tools to the Anoka County Fire Training <br />Academy. <br />Action: <br />Council to authorize/not authorize the donation of Hurst Extrication Tools to the Anoka County Fire Training <br />Academy. <br />Attachments <br />Extrication Tools Resolution <br />Form Review <br />Inbox Reviewed By Date <br />Diana Lund Diana Lund 02/18/2015 03:13 PM <br />KurtUlrich Jo Thieling 02/18/2015 05:21 PM <br />Form Started By: Dean Kapler Started On: 02/18/2015 02:15 PM <br />Final Approval Date: 02/18/2015 <br />
